Quotes of the day... 7/14/15

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. ~ Henry David ThoreauThere are but two powers in the world, the sword and the mind. In the long run the sword is always beaten by the mind. ~ Napoléon BonaparteStart with the end in mind. ~ Stephen R. Covey

Stream of consciousness... 5/24/18

Good morning :) I blew off errands to get home and go for a walk with my puppy neighbor, Max, and then to Christy's to hang out with Mayhem and Bruce. Then I raced around to get all the chores done so I could watch the Celtics WIN!!! One more and we're in the NBA Finals :) It was an amazing game, and I am amazingly EXHAUSTED! Luckily, the next game is Friday night, as in not a school night :) - Sunrise 5:13 - Sunset 8:09 - Have a beautiful day!!!

5/24/18 Energy of the day: we are reminded that everything is an illusion, and we choose the way we respond.

"We are guided by rational thought today, but even our coolest logic is altered by our feelings. The Moon shifts into even-keeled Libra at 2:51 am EDT, tilting the cosmic influence toward objectivity. The Moon forms a Grand Air Trine with ardent Mars and the willful Sun, creating a self-referential system to justify our opinions. But confidence slips away when the Moon squares the approaching Venus-Saturn opposition to test our loyalty in love." ~ Rick Levine (see individual horoscopes at http://www.stariq.com/levine/dailyhoroscope.asp )

We're living in a world of peace, equality, justice, and brotherhood. Write about it, shout about it, celebrate it, look for evidence of it everywhere. Embrace it, and never take it for granted!

I quote the words not the author. Even a dark author will write something POSITIVEly profound every now and then ;)

Interesting lyrics:

♪ I can feel your heart beating careful ♪

♪ In a secret hiding place, if you ever lose your way ♪

♪ I'll put my arms around you and make you unbreakable ♪

"Born of female fires..."

“But she knows she has

a curse on her,

a curse she hopes to win.

For if someone gets

too close to her,

the pins stick further in.”

~adapted, Tim Burton

I see the lovers finally dance!

The journey goes on and on….

Each force is an enemy if you do not love it.

You cannot love it if you do not know it.

If you become one with it.

There is no more enemy.

~ Elsa Malps

I aspire...

"It was clear she had in herself some secret source of joy, that she was now an aggressive, positive force, sure of herself, and apparently afraid of nothing..." ~adapted, Algernon Blackwood

“The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.” ~ Alice Walker

“A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral.” ~ Leo Tolstoy

“The girl had a certain nobleness of imagination, which rendered her a good many services and played her a great many tricks. She spent half her time in thinking of beauty, bravery, magnanimity; she had a fixed determination to regard the world as a place of brightness, of free expansion, of irresistible action, she thought it would be detestable to be afraid or ashamed.” ~ Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady
